Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
- Here is a collection of pictures from the dynamic comic 1506: xkcloud representing those pages your first reach after clicking on the red button on the front page.
- The images in the posts are random. The rest is not.
- There will bot be full (low resolution) images of the entire screen and close ups.
- Since it is not an image but an interactive platform it is not possible to just save the comic as an image.
- But if anyone can do better without taking screen shots (or higher resolution screen shots) please improve the images below where possible).
- Individual pictures from users should be posted here:
- Also note that shortly after the pictures from the first four sections below was acquired there occurred four rather large changes to the comic around 18:00 ET on April 1st.
- Since the main part of the comic did not change these pictures are still relevant. The changes are described and two example pictures are included in a new section at the bottom.

After 18:00 ET on April 1st[edit]
- After 18:00 ET on April 1st the pages changed in several fundamental ways.
- First of all the number of post below the one you are responsible for editing changed from 3 to 6. So now there are 6 or 7 post pictures on these subsequent pages.
- A text "Link" that is a link to create a permalink occurred above all the "thumbs up" buttons.
- A new link occurred below the text under Cueballs desk "Don't contact us"
- An, a minor detail, the breaking of the text right below Cueballs desk changed, so it went from down to two lines to no less than three lines of text. (When zooming to see the entire page, the text breaks into even more lines as can be seen in the two examples below.)
- Zoom of only the two top posts - at the very bottom of this, picture almost invisible beneath the last word Help in the text under Cueballs desk is the link to the chat room. To see it, it may be necessary to tilt the screen...:
